Top quality Jungle Cock Cape. The photo without a label is of an example of a Silver grade cape. The other example capes are labelled with their grade.

The differences between the grades are as follows.

Bargain = Very small capes with splits in all the feather sizes but does have some plenty of usable unsplit feathers - ideal for a tyer who uses Jungle Cock only occasionally for trout flies.

Budget = Very Small Capes with splits in all the feather sizes but does more usable unsplit feathers than the bargain grade.

Tyer = Smaller capes with some splits in the small feathers and many splits in the large and medium feathers

Bronze = Smaller capes with generally unsplit small feathers and many splits in the large and medium feathers

Silver = Average sized capes with some splits in the medium & large feathers

Gold = Average size cape with few splits in some of the large feathers

Platinum = Larger capes with a very few splits in the larger feathers

Double Platinum = Larger Capes with hardly any splits in any of the feathers.

Please note that we only get a very limited stock of Silver, Gold, Platinum (and Double Platinum are very rare), we might only get 1 cape per year of this quality so please e-mail us (flytyingshop@inbox.com) for availability before ordering.

Our capes are from genuine UK stock so there is always limited availability. Most capes on e-bay and other sources are from illicit or illegal sources as Jungle Cock is a CITES listed species and the import/export of them are stricly controlled. Help conserve the natural wild stocks of this beautiful bird by only buying UK bred birds rather than one slaughtered illegally in the wild. Please note because of the legislation covering this product it can only be easily sent within the UK or to other EC countries. (We occasionally send abroad but be aware that there is often complex paperwork to complete and we may charge for our time to complete this - please e-mail us first to discuss your requirements).
